Sydney gamer Luke James Munday, accused of assaulting his partner while livestreaming to his thousands of followers, has appeared in court seven years after he was convicted of a different and unrelated violent offence.

Mr Munday, 26, was charged with common assault on Sunday, hours after his camera captured audio of his 21-year-old partner screaming and crying after claiming she had been hit in the face.

Representing Mr Munday at Camden Local Court, Steven Mercael from the Australian Criminal Law Group sought an adjournment for the 26-year-old and asked for him to be excused from his next court date.

“There is a lot of attention around this case,” Mr Mercael said. “On the alleged victim, and the client.”

Court documents relevant to Mr Munday’s bail revealed his 2018 common assault charge wasn’t the first time the 26-year-old has been in court for “matters involving violence”.

Mr Munday was convicted of the offences.

“The accused has been charged on two previous occasions in 2011 for malicious damage and common assault, both of which were not domestic related,” the document read.

“The accused showed remorse for his actions during the interview stating that he was aware that his actions were inappropriate and that he should not have done what he did.”

The document also stated the prosecution had a strong case because “there are numerous independent witnesses to the offence as a portion of the incident was livestreamed”.
